18 Kreuzer orange-red and 9 Kreuzer ochre-brown in mixed franking with coat of arms issue 3 Kreuzer rose, with open Mühlrad-cancel "325" on registered mourning envelope of 2nd weight class with reverse black lacquer seals of the court secretariat of Ludwig II and adjacent red five-line cancellation "MÜNCHEN Chargé 13/3 (11)" to the mayor of Nice with transit and arrival cds. The 18 cross stamp was originally slightly touched at base, optically corrected here after attestation, otherwise all values with full to large margins and perfect. A scarce and also historically interesting letter, posted 2 weeks after the death of King Louis I in Nice, and undoubtedly directly related to this event. Certificate Brettl BPP (1996)

1866, envelope from Vienna to Rome. Due to the war, transport via Austria was not possible; on the reverse, the postal clerk calculated the postage via France (101 kreuzer) resp. via Switzerland (70 kreuzer) and noted "Via France" on face, with the red transit postmark of Strasbourg next to it. The letter is franked with 1863/64, 2 Kr. yellow and 6 pieces of 15 Kr. brown, three wide 3Kr. green were replaced (cancellation repainted here). Despite the addition, a very interesting and extremely scarce letter.
